had a good day today. all up

had a good day today. all up i hooked into 3 bigguns. almost landed one but the leader snapped at the rocks. schecky hooked into one but it reefed him. the other two reefed me easily on 6lb gear. caught a coupla bait sized herrin right in close to the rocks aswell. not a bad way to spend the afternoon.
personally i havnt landed a skippy for yonks but they bite betetr on sunset and in the morning

the hook you catch buffies on tastes better than the fish itself.

Hi Rickets

I have found that the bigger skippy are definately more likely to be caught at sunrise and sunset at Hillarys. There are quite a few good spots to target them there, even on the inside of the marina.
